Secure PDF

Post by ylprice1972 »

I am a student at University of Phoenix. All of the books are online and in PDF form. The majority of these files are PDF Protected. I have the username and password, but I am unable to unlock the PDF with PDF Xchange Viewer but can with ADOBE.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Yancey,

If you could send us a sample file (+ the username and password) - to support@pdf-xchange.com with a link to this forum topic we will test it and advise what could be happening.

Best,
Stefan

Hello Yancey,

Thank you for this sample. Unfortunately the “Protected PDF” used in this file is a third party security handler – and for now our Viewer is unable to work with such to unlock the contents of this file. Your only option is Adobe’s Reader/Acrobat in this case I am afraid :(

We are working on a new major version:
https://forum.pdf-xchange.com/ ... hp?t=10100
Planned for release this May, which will allow us to support such third party handlers, so once that version is released – we will make sure to start working on supporting such.

Best,
Stefan
